Description steve faulkner 2015-01-15 12:04:29 UTC 
After discussions with Rich S suggest we merge the tables as  per the SVG mappings spec.
example the a element in svg

I'm happy to take this one, but I don't understand what the merged table would look like. Can you provide an example for a few rows using an element whose mapping is covered by an existing ARIA role, and one  (e.g. <canvas>) whose mapping varies between the acc APIs and doesn't map one-to-one with any role listed in Core-AAM?

Hi Jason, 
the existing nonARIA mappings in the second table would remain as is.
a row which has an ARIA mapping - example:

a (represents a hyperlink)
WAI-ARIA	link
MSAA + UIA Express	
Use WAI-ARIA mapping
MSAA + IAccessible2	
Use WAI-ARIA mapping
UIA	
Use WAI-ARIA mapping
ATK	
Use WAI-ARIA mapping
AX	
Use WAI-ARIA mapping


sound OK?

That should work. I wondered if it was a little repetitive for those elements with ARIA mappings, hence the two tables initially, but having all elements in a single table will also be good.
